Abstract excerpt
Previously we showed that fast Ca(2+)-triggered vesicle fusion with reconstituted neuronal SNAREs and synaptotagmin-1 begins from an initial hemifusion-free membrane point contact, rather than a hemifusion diaphragm, using a single vesicle-vesicle lipid/content mixing assay (Diao et al., 2012). When complexin-1 was included, a more pronounced Ca(2+)-triggered fusion burst was observed, effectively synchronizing...
